lo all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that we, JOHN RAMAR'TIN aud Wirf' -to the letters of reference marked thereon.-

The nature of our invention consists in the general arrangement and construction of the parts, which will hem'oref'fully set forth and-described hereafter.

Figure 1 isa side elevation of our invention complete.' 4

Figure 2 is an end view ot the saine, with part 'of the clothes-rack removed.

Figure 3 is a` plan view of the ironing-table. y

A represents the legs or standards, upon'w'hich the ironing-hoard G is supported through the adjustable standards D.

.lhe supports A are secured together by means of the bar B, which is 'provided with a hinge, a, at each end, so that, when the table is no longer needed, the standards 'can-be folded up and moved out of the way.

In order to prevent the legs from being moved, a hook, b, has been pivoted to each oueof them,rwhich 'catches in a staple in the side of the bar B, and thus' prevents .the vstandards from moving-and holds the whole table firm and steady.

Moving up and down in bracket-s, on the outer end, of each standard A, there is an adjustable standard, D, upon which the ironing-hoard C rests. These standards have holes through their lower ends, as seen in iig. 2, so that they can be lowered and raised to any desired height, so as to suitdiiierent-sized persons.

T0 one of these standards there is secured a pivot, c, which extends upward through the board O, so that the board can be turned partly around, as seen in g. 3, so that dresses and articles of asimilar' kind can be introduced over it. Y

Attachedtothe opposite standard from the pivote there is a hook, d, which' holds-the board firmlyv inf place.' Extending a short distance under the board, so as to support and steady it, is a prop, F, which is pr'ovided with a hook, e, so as to hold it in place, :and a hinge, t', so as-to open and close it.

Brojecting upward from the sills of the standard j there are two long bars, G, having their upper ends connected by the removable crossv-bar'ELiand which form the frame-work of the. clothes-horse or rackgjf 1 Stretching across from the' upright bars there aref any desired number of rails, I', upon whichthe clothes are to bc'hnng, and which have 'a hook, carat,4 each-fend, so as to catch in the correspondingstaples inthe' hars G.

Projecting ont from thesides of the. there is a hook, L, which serves to steadythebarsG and holds them rmly in' place. i

By constructing the rack or horse'jn this vmanner,

it can he readily and easily taken entirely apartiorp'ilt together again in a moment, 'and standing almostjin contact with the table, theclothescan be h nng vupon 4it as fast as iioned. I

Having thus described our invention, il. What we claim as new, .and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

I he combination ofthe standardsA, b oardTD, the upright bars G, cross-pieces H and I,thehookslL, b, c, and d, constructed as and for the purpose described. In testimony that we claim the foregoing invention as our own, we hereby .affix our signatures.
